[Desire Accessories] lukzke:
I modified an iPhone cradleto a Htc Desire cradle, later today i will post the instructions about how to modify this about 5 dollar cradle.

it fits perfectly because the iPhone has almost the same witdh and tickness .

i'm not responsible when you screw up the cradle or phone, i'm just sharing my creation.

This are the items, you need:

The Iphone dock: $4.51

The dock cable: $1.80

The dock for using the female connector: $3.14

Micro usb plug And Mini usb: $2.24

Preparation:

Start bij disessemble the " Micro usb plug And Mini usb" and "The dock for using the female connector" cable

The easiest way to do this is by using a knife to, the 1 cable is a bit difficult because it's glues together, make shure you het the mico usb like this and the mini usb like this.

Tip: try to keep the red and black wire from the female mini usb connected, this prevents solding work later on.

Also when you extract the female ipod connector keep the wires attached so you can soldeer it lateron to the micro usb (male), when you done it right, it will look like the picture below, with the wires connected.

(Don't mention the desiciptions of the pins on the picture below.)

Opening op the cradle:

On the first sight you won't find any screw-hols on the bottom, but they are the on the left and right side of the cradle bottom the are weak spots in the rubber, make 2 holes and you will see 2 screws, und-screw them an open up the cradle.

when the cradle is opened you'll see a print, you can remove it, it's not nessery anymore, in my first attemt i tried to use the audio port also but then i figuered out that the HTC Desire has no audio over usb option.

Assembling the HTC DESIRE dock

Starting with the most tricky part, solding the wire from the ipod femal connector to the micro usb male like the thumb below.

(Make sure the wires al long enough)

when this is done make a hole in the housing on the left side of the ipod connector. This is for the mini usb (female). Solder the black and red wire of the mini usb to the pins on the ipod female connector.

Now the difficult part is done.

Take some black tape an cover the innerside of the hole where the ipod male connector was. In the middle make is small insision where lateron the micro usb male connector had to fit through.

Take the bottom plate of the cradle and carefully take away some plastic like the photo below

Now this is done, the easy part begin. It's glueing time ;)

Take your beautiful solding work and fit it in the cradle starting by fitting the ipod femal in the ipod female hole, and the mini usb female in the mini usb hole.

Stick the micro usb male intro the insision you made and attach your phone to it. To make use everything fit, assemble the bottom to the cradle.

When this is fits, heat up your glue gun or plastic glue and qlue everything in place, be carefull that you dont glue your phone to the cradle :cool:

Wait for a day so the glue is hard and than attach the bottom to the cradle.

and "whala" a beautiful Desire Cradle
